Cambridgeshire Crimestoppers
This is in order to advise local residents on how to avoid being a victim of doorstep crime.
Crimestoppers is a charity that run campaigns aimed at generating intelligence that can be used by our local constabulary to detect and thereby prevent crime. We provide 100% anonymity to those who pass us information and often receive intelligence that people would otherwise not have passed directly to the police.

Cement Works Decision This Wednesday
It has now been confirmed that the application for 220 houses on Barrington cement works will be decided by the planning committee of South Cambs District Council this coming Wednesday, 3 June at 10am at South Cambridgeshire Hall in Cambourne Business Park. The planning officers are recommending that the committee approves the proposal. They have given a lot of weight to the fact that a brownfield site is being redeveloped and they say that this outweighs all of the negative impacts of the proposal. The agenda for the 3 June meeting can be found here:
